Overview - CatX AV receivers
CatX AV
receivers provide a flexible solution for outputting
VGA video + Audio
over Cat5/6 UTP cable
up to either
150m
or
300m
.
The
CatX AV Rx
receiver can be used for distances up to
150m
The
CatXQ AV Rx
receiver can be used for distances up to
300m
An external power supply is required for both types of
AV
receivers
. Please refer to the ‘
External
power
’ section in the technical specification at the end of this manual.
CatX AV
receivers are Video and
audio compatible with
CatX Mini AV
and
VP
transmitters and receivers.
Connecting the AV receiver to your transmitter (Tx) unit
Connect your
AV
receiver to the transmitter using correctly terminated Cat5/6 UTP cable (refer to the
Termination of UTP
Cable section of this manual).
Power options for your AV receiver unit
An external
5V PSU
(part no:
PS-5V1A-1.3-**
) is required to power each
AV
receiver.
Please Note:
If any outputs of a
CatX AVP Tx4
or
Tx8
unit are connected to
AV
receiver units, it is
possible to power the transmitter using a USB power lead connected to any suitable USB port.
Audio
An audio source will only be output by your
AV
receiver if it is connected to a
CatX Mini AV Tx
transmitter or an
AVP
transmitter that has
AV
mode selected on the Cat5/6 output. A stereo audio
speaker can be connected to the unit, using one of the audio output sockets on the
CatX AV
receiver.
Connecting multiple AV receivers in series
CatX AV
receivers have an input and output for Cat5/6 UTP cable. This allows multiple
AV
receivers to
be connected in series. Every
AV
receiver is also a transmitter, allowing the distance from any
VGA and
audio
source to be extended up to
2000m
. This allows greater flexibility in planning your extender
system beyond
300m
.
The maximum overall distance from the source transmitter to the final receiver unit should not exceed
2000m
.
150m
and
300m
AV receivers may be mixed together in series. The distance between the transmitter,
first
AV
receiver unit and each subsequent receiver is either
150m
or
300m,
depending on the type of
each receiver unit in the daisy-chain.
CatX AV
receivers are completely video and audio compatible with
CatX Mini
transmitters and
receivers.
A CatX mini
transmitter can be connected to an
AV
receiver and a
CatX Mini
receiver can be
used as the final receiver in a daisy-chain of multiple
AV
receivers.
CatX Mini VP
receivers will require
an external power supply if connected to an
AV
receiver.
